I gotta tell ya. IMHO, that thing is fuuuggly! The wheels are too big for it (makes it look like one of those La Cienega Impalas on 26"s). And that front end... I didn't like the 300's front end when it first came out, but it grew on me. To tell you the truth, I still don't like their OEM grilles, but the aftermarket's pretty much fixed that. But that Rolls... Sure, I'd love to have the funds he's got tied up in it, but I'd start with a GTC or maybe an SL65 AMG and end up with something a lot better looking that would run rings around his Phantom.

...with his money in my pocket ide have one pimped out mystyle also sitting in one of my hangars.
That car is fire!!! My buddy has a black regular phantom (the 4 door) and it is pretty sweet, but I was driving by the rolls dealer a few weeks ago and they had a red drophead (like this car) and it is stunning. You know, I am glad to see something different out there, if I see another bentley continental gt I think I might puke.(they seem like they are on every corner nowadays......really.)

And it looks like an eye with an eyebrow on each side!
Oh yeah, did you know that those thin eyebrow looking lights are just daytime running lights. The actual headlight on the rolls is the fog lights! The have full moving capabilities and are bright as all get out.
Rollin' seeing a Bentley or Roller here in OZ is a pretty rare sight. My Car & Driver page a day calendar featured the Roller this week and it said they are about US$332,000. Here in OZ they are around A$1M. You reckon we get gouged on our cost of motoring here in Australia or what??
